23ers Deal Austin 6-5 Defeat
The Austin Desperados got a sterling performance from pitcher Byron Stanton, but the Fountain Hills 23ers still prevailed, 6-5. Stanton threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball. Donovan March notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 2.2 innings. His record now sits at 5-1. The 23ers now have a record of 69-80 with the win over Austin.

Fountain Hills used a timely hit from Jim Gavilanes to get the win. The shortstop stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to put the 23ers ahead, 6-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

In postgame comments to the Fountain Hills Daily News, Gavilanes said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
